1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effect of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, platelet (HALP) score and platelet to albumin ratio (PAR) on prognosis of patients with lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) after surgery. Patients and methods: A total of 52 patients diagnosed with ASC after surgical resection were collected from Nanjing Chest Hospital from 2012 to 2021, and their general clinical data, pathological data and laboratory indexes were collected. The changes of Alb and Plt levels before and after surgery, HALP scores (hemoglobin albumin lymphocytes/platelets), and postoperative PAR, PLR, NLR were retrospectively analyzed, and their influence on the prognosis of patients with ASC was investigated. The cut-off value of △Alb, △Plt, postoperative PAR, PLR and NLR were determined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cut-off value of HALP score before and after surgery was calculated by using X-tile software, and the clinicopathological characteristics were compared between the high PAR and low PAR groups and between high HALP score and low HALP score group to analyze the factors influencing the prognosis of patients with ASC. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses were used to assess independent risk factors affecting overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with ASC. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the correlation between OS, DFS and PAR and HALP score. Results: A critical value of PAR was 7.40×10^9 and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.737 (95%CI: 0.597-0.876, Conclusion: PAR and preoperative HALP score were potentially useful biomarkers for evaluating the outcome of patients with postoperative ASC. PAR, the degree of differentiation and preoperative HALP score were independent prognostic factors for postoperative OS in ASC patients. Maximum tumor diameter and preoperative HALP score were independent prognostic factors for postoperative DFS in ASC patients.
